David Dorn, a 77-year-old retired St. Louis police officer who served 38 years on the force was shot and killed by looters at a pawn shop early, June 2, 2020, police said. An officer was attacked in New York City, and four cops were shot in St. Louis as demonstrations across the nation in the aftermath of George Floyd's death have turned increasingly violent for both protestors and police.The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department officer was critically wounded engaging with violent protesters outside the Circus Circus Hotel & Casino on the famed Las Vegas Strip.

A suspect was arrested by a SWAT team, but that person's name wasn't immediately released, Lombardo added. "During the interaction, the subject reached for his firearm and our officers engaged him," Lombardo said. The suspect, who hasn't yet been identified, died at the hospital. It's unclear whether that individual had been among the protestors, Lombardo added.The four officers wounded in St. Louis on Monday night were shot near police headquarters, where clashes with rioters lasted well into the night.

The officers, ranging in age from 28 to 52, suffered non-life-threatening injuries. Before the shootings, demonstrators hurled rocks and fireworks at police, and some officers had gasoline dumped on them, Hayden added.

My Condolences to the family and close friends. 🌹🙏

Those were not protesters. Rest In Peace Mr. Dorn 🙏🏻😔

So, did that “Black Life Matter”?

Heartbreaking. Sending my condolences out to his family and friends. 😢💔

Does this black life matter?

Nine brothas were killed from around my way since Floyd George (RIP) was murdered and yet no one has acknowledged those loses to the community, is it because PoPo didn’t take em out but others did. Aside from the family and friends how come these BLACK LIVES don’t MATTER?

How fucking irresponsible is this tweet. This was NOT at the hands of any a protest turned violent. This man was MURDERED by criminals using the protests as cover to vandalize and loot. Huge fucking difference. Learn it.

😪😪😪 I’m so sadden by this. Please Lord stop the bleeding.

And unlike a cop I hope the perpetrator(s) are brought to justice if they are indeed guilty. There. That wasn't hard.

I do not see anybody marching for this injustice , the tv news also very silent

May he Rest In Peace.

Too little, too late

No BLM? No demand for justice? Why? Bc he doesn’t fit the agenda that “police are rascist.” nothing other than a black person killed by a cop (just or unjust) will get any sort of uprising where people demand “change.”

💙😔

Liberals and Blacks don’t care. This tragedy doesn’t fit their narrative. Sweep it under the rug now, hurry.

How different is dying from eating as gas han xtic is concern

I’m assuming he was shot my police because of the looting? Maybe it was mistaken identity. Who shot him?

What a damn shame. People need to do better. Killing someone is the whole reason for this protest and killing someone else in the name of that defeats the purpose

takeobamalive

He was killed by a protester/rioter.

Wow... Who is shedding tears for him Where are the protests or murder charges

I won't be surprised if White Supremacists who infiltrated the Protests murdered him

I'm not against protesters, I'm against rioters, I'm not against the police, I'm against the abuse of power, we don't want violence, we want to be listened. WE WANT JUSTICE! Justice

Hes black 😞

JUSTICE for police officer DavidDon that was murdered during Rioters, FBI need to investigate all those shootings of cops, make sure it's not some kind of framing.

All BlackLivesMatter? The video is just as shameful as GeorgeFloyd but where is the outrage!!He was retired and his death or anyone else’s that was lost in these riots is no less important. May he RIP DavidDorn

😢😢😢

Why not show this officer laying in his pool of blood in the street, I know you have the scene of it. That’s to shocking and doesn’t fit your narrative. So you show a nice smiling pic. you are disgusting outlet.

dianermacedo Finally

MarthaSugalski 'Found'? So it wasn't while the riots were happening.

Praying for him n his family !!

KatieUssin I am beginning to doubt this protest because of this. Where does it stop? These are looking more organized as the days go on by radical anti government forces. Preying on people’s emotions to create anarchy.

A mob of so called peaceful protesters dragged this Dallas business owner outside and attacked him. He died the next day. Democrats own these deaths.

So sad 😞

“BLACK LIVES MATTER”?

Murdered by Looters

Cnn hasn’t covered this story. Why? Joe Biden going to his funeral? Pickin sides?

OmahaSpeak

😢

How is this going to help Anyone?

Tragic but could have been stopped if the anger was handled well. Who knows how all this going to end up if those in leadership wish it'll just go away like flue.

Shame on the people taking advantage of one incident and claiming many more lives, rioting and looting small businesses etc! Hope you all end up in a shit hole!

How about this life? Did it matter? Where’s the people protesting for someone like this? A tax paying citizen brutally killed? Where are the community leaders? I protest for this man. Doing his job and killed for no reason.

Bet nobody will be protesting over this man. Sad..

Apparently his life didn't matter... Cowards shot him over a TV

That's what they do. It's perfectly acceptable as long as they're killing each other.

JulieABC11 Why is there not outrage for this murder? I thought George Floyd’s murder was dispicable until I saw David Dorn’s murder. Both were equally devastating! Please tell me why this black life doesn’t matter!

Was ' FOUND ' I believe that KILLING was live stream But you know it sounds much better for YOUR HEROIC NARRATIVE to have ' BEEN FOUND ' you know because then it could have been done by ANYONE other than those PEACEFUL LOOTING THUGS

Stop the rioting! More people are dieing for what? Is it worth it? StopTheViolence StopAntifa

There’s no justification for this murder. There never will be. But a looter that did this is an opportunist taking advantage of a situation in which they are totally wrong for. This isn’t part of BLM its a sad consequence of people taking advantage. Don’t be ignorant.

He also needs justice.

Heartbreaking. My thoughts and prayers are with his distraught family.

Eventually some response from the media on the blatant murder of DavidDorn by RiotersAreNotProtesters

He was recorded dying. How about reporting on why he was just videoed fighting for his life n was told RIP. Don’t tell me that wasn’t planned...

Was he misidentified as a looter? RIP.

ALLBlackLivesMatter

systole pls. share this!

Whens the protests starting for this gentleman, he has left family and friends behind too, or is it fair game cause he was trying to uphold the law and wears a uniform. alllivesmattereverybidyshouldbendtheknee

End this fucking madness one way or another!!!

He had a pre existing condition and hemorrhaged

Incredibly tragic death. His life mattered.

He was murdered by rioters.

No one knew who that man was, wearing regular clothing. Unfortunately he did something senseless & tried to protect a pawnshop, merchandise which is replaceable, in the heat of injustice against his own ppl who unjustly lose their lives to crooked cops which is irreplaceable

JoeBiden declared war on the African American community. He created his own “N” word, Predators & said we have no choice but to take them out of society. To this day Biden is responsible for the over 1 mil African American men sent to prison.

metzgerl May God have mercy on his souls day comfort his family.

Why tf are black ppl trying to protect REPLACEABLE merchandise when their own ppls IRREPLACEABLE lives are not respected or valued? Knowing that’s why they’re protesting/rioting/acting out. I’m minding my business & marching my ass on down the road. Even lions kill their own.

This does not negate the protests or their message.

David Dorn died serving his country.Condolence to the family of David Dorn.

RIP this should have never happened! The people who did this are no better and lost the very cause they are protesting for!

This is very sad news. 😞

By white men I’m sure BLACKLIVESMATTER

But black lives matter, don’t they?

😢😢😢

That is so heartless and unnecessary! He spent his life helping others and this is his reward!?

Protests need to end ASAP! Legal process is underway in Floyd case!

RIP boss 🙏🏼❤️

Vigilante killed when acting like a cowboy.

Is there no law in USA,,is USA. USA is the world's most dangerous place to live ,,with multiple no go areas there where rit of American law is yet not established

This has nothing to do with George Floyd. This man was murdered by thugs who could care less about anyones life. ABC is garbage & all propaganda!

So sad ..We are completely speechless !!

And everyone has been saying BlackLivesMatter 🤷🏽‍♀️😞😞

Very sad. God Bless him!

They only care cause he's black

The Police simulated a tribute to Georges Floyd to attract the nearest Protestants so that they could shoot them with tear gas ... BlackLivesMatter GeorgeFloyd blackoutuesday

GeorgeFloyd: Un flic Pulvérise un homme directement au visage avec du spray au poivre alors qu'il se retournait aveuglé, ils tirent une capsule de GAZ lacrymogène sur son visage à bout portant. C'est une tentative de meurtre !! Ce dont vous assistez...

And they videoed him dying, no one called 911 and no one helped him in his final moments.

Cities will continue to fall and black lives will be lost because white people do not want justice for us, they want dictators to give them right to kill us. They want this nation to fall so they can feel superior. I don't give a f*ck anymore. Admit you want black people dead.

I can't help but wonder if an undercover cop shot him on purpose. They have been escalating these protests by firing on peaceful protesters, this could be their attempt to get permission to use live rounds on peaceful protesters. Shutting us up is their sole objective.

With looting and killing, you ABC and your fake news media allies, are still calling it protests? You people are definitely the bigger problem that needs to be addressed even before other things.

very sad. No need for violence on any side.

RIP sir, and thank you for your dedication to the people of your city.

I thought black lives mattered to these people?

AOC MSNBC maddow donlemon ChrisCuomo CNN cnnbrk waiting for this report. You have to report both sides of the story.

I must admit this protest is much bigger than the protest when the black police officer shot the white Australian woman. Oh bad me, that’s right nobody gave a fuck except the woman’s family justsaying

This is horrible.

If they turn violent they are not protesters. If they steal, kill and burn they are not protesters - stop trying to tone down those who are violent. If police do things wrong, yes hold the accountable, but stop trying to tone down those mixed in with the protesters, as protesters

So sad. Some people wait for opportunity or get pushed over the edge.

Lord, I ask you to help stop this war!

Kind of sounds like armed robbery not looting. Do better.

The death came on a brutal night for police across the U.S. A Las Vegas police officer on life support was last listed in critical condition after being shot Monday night attempting to disperse a crowd of protesters outside a casino, authorities say.

George Clooney Calls Racism a Pandemic in Essay About George FloydIn a powerful, new essay, George Clooney is showing his support for the black community and addresses anti-black racism in America: 'This is our pandemic. It infects all of us, and in 400 years we've yet to find a vaccine.' I thought he died. Huh There is no vaccine. Racism will ALWAYS be there much like rapist and pedophiles. But we MUST make sure racist are not in position of power like cops etc... Becoming a cop should be much harder and firing much easier. But unions stop that from happening. Under Obama, many blacks died, but you were silent. Today, Democrats, like Republicans, come to power through war. You all need power not for the sake of the people. No more America, you are all destroying it leading to civil wlane. You allow Russia and China to destroy America
